Here's a thought experiment for you: What if they didn't put the child's photo right at the top so I see it in the thumbnail here without even clicking on the article, which is my issue.
There is nothing I can shut down and of course I would go shopping because I have a family to support. And other people have themselves to support. People aren't going to just lay down and starve to death.
As far as cracking jokes, people who work in emergency trauma units on battlefields crack jokes. Probably more than you do, just to get through it. And they are able to get on with their lives despite seeing endless horror.
You know what happens when you see that all the time? Desensitization. You stop caring about seeing it because you know you'll keep seeing it.
I'm amazed you don't understand the concept of desensitization. It's been used all over the world to get people to accept atrocities as normal.
